coMemEo PAPER-WEIGHT, CALENDAR, AND PEN-RACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,065, dated November 6, 1883.

Application filed June 1, 1883. (No model.) i

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,

in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved combined paper-weight, calendar, pen-rack, &c, Fig. 2is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line a: :12, Fig. 1.

A. box or casing, A, is provided with a front board, B, which is inclined upward, and from handle-knob, G, for turning it.

the front toward the rear end of the box, on which board B a calendar sheet or table is produced, which is divided into seven columns, containing the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 at the heads, the numbers 8, 9, 10, &c., in the secondrow, and so on. A glass pane, D, covers the sheet on board B. At its upper end, and directly above the table, the sheet or board is provided with a longitudinal slot, E, through which a roller, F, can be seen, which is journaled in the box directly below the slot, which roller is provided at one end with a On the surface of the roller F the first syllables or initials of the seven days of the week are produced in seven longitudinal rows, the initials or syllables being shifted one space for each following longitudinal row, so that by turning the roller F the initial letter or syllable of 7 any desired day can be brought above the numeral 1, the other initial syllables corresponding. At the upper end of the inclined sheet or board B a vertical or inclined front board, H, extends to the top of the box, which board H is provided with a longitudinal slot, J, and is covered by a pane, K, of glass. Behind the slot J a large roller, L, is journaled in the box A, which roller is provided at one end with a handle-knob, M. On the face of the roller the names of the month are produced in twelve successive longitudinal rows, so that by turning the rollerLthe name of any month can be brought behind the slot J. A longitudinal box, N, is formed on the top of the box A along the rear edge of the same, and in the said box N a cushion, O, is fastened for receiving pins, needles, 830. Two upwardlyprojectingarms, P, are secured to the front of the box at the ends, and between the said arms and the pin-cushion box Npens, pencils, &c., can be placed. The box serves as a paperweight. roller F can easily be adjusted, so that the initials of the first week of the month will show in the slot E.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

The combination, with the box A, having an almanactable, B, and a front board, H, provided with the slots E J, respectively, of the roller F, journaled in the box and behind the slot E, the said roller'having produced thereon the initial letters or syllables of the days of the week, and of the roller L, journaled in the box and behind the slot J, the said roller having the names of the months produced on its surface, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
